May 9, 2020Whilst stylish and with a fantastic performance by the lead, for me personally it was unrealistic and too sex obsessed (I’m no prude but the show seemed too erotic and not enough character development)
It seems to be appealing to a young demographic and I’m sure teenagers would enjoy it more.
Awards & Rankings

Generally speaking, the characters, as outlined on the page, are distinctly plain and painted with broad strokes, which serves to highlight Edgar-Jones and Mescal’s acting ability but demonstrates that their talents are in service of a substandard product.
-
It is a beautiful piece of work, capturing the fervid intensity of a first teenage sexual relationship with charm and poignancy. This is almost entirely due to the quality of the two lead actors, although the lean dialogue helps too.

Normal People isn’t just some erotic but sweet story of turbulent young love. It’s a portrait of intimacy itself—and I do mean both kinds, sexual and emotional. There’s an earnestness to it that you won’t find in other TV shows aimed at young adults.
